The European Green Capital is a European
Commission initiative. The title of 'European Green Capital' is awarded
annually and it promotes and rewards the efforts of cities that are committed
to improving the urban environment. The Award is given to a European city that
has demonstrated a well-established record of achieving high environmental
standards and is committed to ongoing and ambitious goals for
future environmental improvement and sustainable development.
Ljubljana received
recognition for raising environmental awareness amongst its citizens, for its
sustainability strategy 'Vision 2025', its implementation of a range of urban
green measures over the past decade and its impressive transportation network.
In 2007 Ljubljana introduced sustainable development
vision until 2025, with 93 infrastructure projects that are important for our environment
and quality of life. We have adopted a package of sustainability documents and
have so far implemented more than 650 larger and smaller investment projects,
each of which is aimed towards improving the quality of residents’ life in
the city.
